Nina's POV

   Waking up by 4:00AM was so tiring. I heard my mum calling my name, I knew that if I don't stand up from the bed then she will give me an early morning slap.

     I lazily crawled out of the bed and walking like a zombie to the living room, when my mum started the prayers, I bet I wasn't listening.

I kneeled down and layed my head on the couch, using my hands as pillow while randomly saying Amen.

AFTER 30 MINUTES

After the prayers, I looked at my mum who just gave me the angry face,

'What' I asked but in a low turn that I wished she didn't hear, but she did because she raised one of
Eyebrow.

'So all this while you were sleeping' she asked angrily.

I couldn't say 'yes' and I couldn't say 'no'. I just stared at her.

She looked pale, I knew she was praying about father because she always does.

She came to me and slapped me,

'Your father is in prison and your here sleeping, your such a shame'
She said angrily, still giving me  that angry face.

Then I noticed she was crying, but she was using all her strength to hold it.

I wanted to talk but she cut in...

'When will you for once be wise and vigilante, your so dumb in everything you do!!!' She shouted.

'I knew she was angry but she doesn't have to burst it all on me,'
I said to my self.

I was cut off from my thought by a noise, first I thought something fell down, until then I felt my cheek burning hot, she slapped me again!!!.

This time, I was so angry that I stood up walked to her face,where she stood.

'What did I do mum, is it my fault that dad is in prison, or the government all of a sudden send him to prison, NO, dad killed some one, he is a murderer, I will never pray for a MURDERER!!.'

She slapped me again, harder this time around, I knew I was making her angry but she was also getting on my nerves, the fact was that I never loved my "dad", he always treated me bad. But time around  am not paying attention to what she wants me to do.

The slap did not stop me from talking.

'Ohh, keep slapping me, then continue why did you stop' I said.

After saying that I ran inside my room and locked the door

Running to my drawer I took out my 'DAIRY'

  I started writing down the event that happen just now.

When I was done, I started re-reading all that happen to me.

My 'dad' killed someone who my mum refuse to tell me, and now his serving life imprisonment.

I once had a brother, an elder one, he was got stealing and the people around that area took justice in their hands and burnt him alive,

I hated Nigeria, I hated the people, they so called it " Jungle justice" which annoyed me the more.

They killed the only brother I had,

My mum once told me a story on how they came to a church to baptize me but the priest refused saying I was cursed, I cried when my mum told me this, I was 16  then,

I slipped over the dairy when I wrote happy birthday to me when I turn 17, but at the next 20 lines I read and remembered what happened

4 years ago.

'Dad, dad,' I shouted while running to their room because it was open.

'What' he answered,

'Dad don't you want to tell me something today' smiling while i said it.

He gave me that furious face, I was used to it so I just ignored his expression and continued

'Dad, don't tell me you have forgotten?' I asked him.

Before he could talk mum came in with tea and bread on a tray bringing it to dad.

Dad took it and started eating.

I was so angry that I left and went to my room when something bumped in to me, it was my brother John

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!' He shouted, I felt so happy when mum hugged me and whispered to me happy birthday dear.

I looked through the other room which was open thinking that he will come but no he didn't.

After about 2 hours

Mum left and said she was coming back,

I stayed with my brother till he said he was coming,

I knew he going to either talk to ngozi or sleep with her.

After a while, I heard a knock on the door, when I opened it was dad, he banged in roughly almost pushing me down but the door handle saved me

'Maybe he is not happy' I said to myself.

I followed him to his room and stood at the door

' dad today is my birthday' I said almost about to cry.

He turned and slapped me,

'Like I care, I regret giving birth to you, ohhh, can't you make money, you are a girl for goodness sake!!!!'
He shouted.

I just stared at him.
